Fan-made game released: Broken Sword 2.5

Have been checking this group's progress now and then for a few years. Like the QFG2 remake, it is a non-profit fan made project and also one of my favourite PC-game series. The game is quite huge, 697 MB, but with a fast internet connection, it shouldn't take more than a half hour to download it: h...

Re: Ok what is up with the Al Emmo and QFG2 poster shipments?

OK, that's the reason why the game haven't appeared in my mailbox yet! Status for order is still "processing" when I checked today, but I can wait. I will give it away as a Christmas gift anyway, so there's still three months to go. Can't take that long to send something from the US to Eur...

Just for fun...checked what you have to pay to get the Dragon fire now...It seems to have become a really expensive collectors item now!

Re: What was QfG5 like, anyway?

I played Dragon Fire just a few years ago because I wasn't aware of the release back in 1998. It isn't a bad game, and in my opinion - not the worst game in the series. And not the worst attempt to make a 2D game into 3D - the worst ones being Kings Quest 8 or Simon 3D. It feels more than a 2.5D gam...

Re: What chance is there for a new Quest for Glory Anthology?

Well, if they're not planning to do anything more for the qfg-series than to make a crappy anthology with no extras, then it's better they don't. In a just world they would sell the IP cheaply to someone with a love for the games and a desire to continue the stories. Like the people at AGDInteractiv...

Yeah. Fortunately the VGA version can easily be manipulated into avoiding gold. You can drop all but one of your silvers, then spend all your gold, retrieve your silvers, and then NEVER use the mushroom glich. Nothing but silvers. I never found a way to drop inventory items AND be able to retrieve ...

Re: Easter Eggs

Don't know if this qualifies as an Easter egg, but there is a Katta salesman in the northern part of town named Neko, which means "cat" in Japanese. And of course he sells some asian stuff, asian martial arts related stuff if I remember correctly. You can't buy anything from him though.

"Al Emmo" showed that the team can develop their own original worlds for adventuring. Rather than making more fan-games (next one maybe out in 2016?), I would prefer them to make commercial games in that good old adventuring spirit. There should be a market for that, I hope! "Al Emmo&...
